Chapter 70
Romeo
To say Bradford wasn’t happy with me was an understatement, how dare I tell him what to do in his business. “You not going to come in here and change anything Romeo, I wanted her to marry someone that can ‘one day’ emphases on ‘one day’ take over not now. Someone young guy that could learn from me.” “You mean someone young and naïve someone that you can teach your habits to and how to run a business.” “I won’t put it like that.” “Then how would you put it, Brad? I bring experience to your business, which in my books are much better than a young naïve boy.” “It’s the experience I’m afraid of especially for Jenn.” “You talking about sex now Brad?” “Good God Romeo, don’t you have any filter I am her father if you forgotten.” “You make sure I don’t forget and what else would you have revered to if it wasn’t sex.” “She’s my daughter Romeo I don’t want to think about her with you in bed.” If Brad only knew we don’t normally, do it in the bed but I do have a filter and will never tell him our secrets. “Can we get back to business Brad.” “Yes please.” “Will you support us in this?” “I probable don’t have a choice not after it’s in every paper there is this morning.” He threw the papers out on his desk. “You pushed me in a corner with this wedding thing.” “You pushed Jenn in a corner I’m just helping her to stand up to you that’s all. It looks like you’ve been ruling her life.” “Well like I said she is my daughter I only want the best for her and what she’s doing now is not the best for her.” “What me or the bakery?” “The fucking bakery. I don’t agree with her marrying you but at least I know she will be taken care of and you will make her stay at home. One of my worries will be gone.” “What do you mean I will make her stay-at-home Brad?” “I’m sure you don’t want your wife to work Romeo.” “Well, that is where you are wrong Brad, I will support her in whatever she decides to do and if she wants to open another bakery, I will be right there next to her supporting her and helping her.” “You won’t dare, you won’t dare talk her into opening another bakery.” “What on earth did the bakery do to you that you are so against it?” I asked him because this was just baffling to me.
“I’m Bradford Rynn Property Mogul, casino owner and my daughter work in a fucking bakery don’t you see how degrading that is?” “I take it degrading for you?” “Off course.” “But Brad she doesn’t work in the bakery she owns the bakery. She is a woman with her own business you should be proud of it of her.” “Well, I’m not and you shouldn’t be either.” “Dear God how on earth can you be so self-centered she’s your daughter like you said over and over in the past few hours I’ve been here but you can’t be proud of her for her accomplishments. This is not the guy I remember from college. What happened to you?” I was stunned I just couldn’t believe him, thinking Jennifer’s bakery is degrading to him. “You know half of your success is what the people believe Romeo and them seeing her in a fucking bakery makes me look weak and poor.” “Let’s agree to disagree because I’m not even with her for so long and I am so proud of her building something of her own without your help that takes guts and determination Brad.” “Like you said let’s agree to disagree she will be your problem soon and then she will have your surname I don’t have to worry how her actions affect my name anymore.” “You are a real son of a bitch Brad.”
Luckily my phone rang, Brad did look at me like daring me to answer the phone in his presence but you know what fuck him “Elijah what’s wrong?” “It’s Jenn boss, she’s in the ER.” “What the fuck happened?” I asked him as I took my stuff and walk out of Brad’s office. Brad did yell after me telling me we are far from done but I didn’t have time for him I needed to get to Jennifer. “Kyle got into the bakery boss he grabbed her and choked her she’s struggling to breath.” “Fuck which hospital?” “The one where Dr Jacobs are his with her now.” “We’ll talk when I get there.” I disconnected the call and put my cellphone back in my jacket pocket. “What’s wrong boss?” Lucas asked “Jennifer has been attacked yet again by Kyle we need to get to the ER and then you and Elijah have to take care of Kyle I’m done with him I’m telling you he will not hurt another hair on her body.” “Yes Boss.” When we got to the ER, I didn’t care how many people where around me all I could think about was Jennifer and the bruise she still has and the stitches and now this. As I walked in, I started to talk very loudly on the brink of screaming “Where is my fiancé. Where is Jennifer Rynn?” I saw Dr Jacobs pull a curtain away and there on the bed was Jennifer smiling at me. I was sure my heart stopped for a minute.
“Oh my God darling.” I said as I approached her. I went to the bed and had her in my arms in seconds. “Thank God your okay.” “I’m okay Romeo it was just shock.” “Doctor?” I asked Dr Jacobs “It was just shock she struggled to breath but nothing is broken and she’s okay now.” “Can she go home?” “Yes, off course we’ve got her breathing under control and she’s fine now.” “Good” “I take it congratulations is in order?” The doctor asked. I wasn’t following him he must have seen it on my face “The engagement.” “Oh yes thank you doc.” “I’m glad you taking control Romeo.” He said to me softly. “Me to.” I walked back to Jennifer and helped her of the bed, “Should I get a wheelchair?” “Oh, my word, no I can walk Romeo.” “Okay darling just making sure.” As we walked to the SUV that was still standing outside, I helped Jennifer into the G-Wagon she immediately said “Please don’t fire Elijah, it wasn’t his fault.”
